I found the larger Fastpack too huge/bulky (and hated the integrated waist belt, which is non-removable!) so I returned it and ordered the 100 instead. The high sticker price aside, much better -- it's small & light yet rugged, fits my Pentax SLR plus an extra lens (with some room still to spare), and the upper compartment is perfect for a wallet and whatever extras. The side-mounted elastic pouch is *very* tight for a water bottle, but you can jam one it (what were they thinking?). I wish it provided an extra compartment for a small netbook on the back (like the bigger models), but I realize most people wouldn't probably need it. Overall, if you don't have much gear, I'd say the 100 is (almost) spot-on.

I bought this bag for a nikon D70S. It fits well and has all kinds of extas.

I was reluctant to carry around a substantial sized backpack, but as I got more camera equipment, I realized I really needed to. This is not huge, but it holds a lot and is actually quite comfortable to wear. I am pleasantly surprised.

The Lowepro Fastpack 100 is a great walk-around camera bag. Although some people have given this bag a few bad reviews, there is a fine line between size with the fastpack series, and if you need something larger, don't buy the Fastpack 100 model and expect it to accomodate your camera body and all of your telephoto lenses.
Having said that, this bag was perfect for me. I never take all of my lenses with me, unless I am traveling, and the Lowepro Fastpack 100 is certainly no travel bag. With a little additional room to spare, I can comfortably fit my Nikon D60 with older 35mm f/2.5 lens attached, as well as the 18-55mm kit lens, and a 50mm f/1.8 pancake lens. And although I mentioned that this is not a travel bag, many accessories including a battery charger, power cord, USB cable, extra battery and pop-up flash diffuser can fit into the camera compartment alone. Elsewhere, I can pack my camera's body cap, complete cleaning kit (with cloth, lens cleaning solution, blower and brush), four SD cards and camera manual into the top compartment. There is even room for a sandwich, handkerchief or back-up point&shoot camera. A side-pouch with netting is the perfect place to store a water bottle or thermos, and I'm not necessarily referring to the tiny average-sized water bottle, either.
As far as comfort goes, this bag is top of the line. I hardly notice I'm wearing it, even when it's home to all of the items mentioned above. There's also a convenient velcro cellphone pouch on one strap, which allows my phone a better and more consistent signal than when in my pocket- a neat touch. The bag is light and provides more freedom of movement than a shoulder bag or even a camera holster. I have broad, somewhat-sloping shoulders, and most of the backpacks I have tried in the past slip over either shoulder. This does not seem to be a problem with the Fastpack. And accessing your camera is as easy as slipping the bag from one shoulder, and bringing it up to your chest. (See the video above the image description, on the product page) The Lowepro Fastpack 100 provides great protection for your camera. The padded dividers and walls in and around the camera compartment are very sturdy and I have no doubt in my mind that they'd be more than sufficient in protecting my gear if the bag was dropped from a height of ten feet or more.
All in all, this is a great walk-around camera bag that can easily store a camera with attached kit lens, with additional room for two primes or a medium-sized telephoto, and countless smaller accessories. If you only carry two or three lens with you, and already have a larger bag for organizing all your gear, then this is the bag to go with.

This is a good size pack for the beginner to intermediate level photographer. The build and design quality is excellent, the adjustable compartments are a nice feature to allow for your items to have a custom fit. The largest compartment is just barely big enough to fit my telephoto lense. I use mine for both day and weekend trips and like it a lot.
